Hi, You must use a music function. See LSR #328 "Shorthand for triplets" : http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=328 tm = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) #{ \times 2/3 $music #}) { \tm { c8 d c } } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
